if we can agree that a psycho lacks empathy, this means he lacks something. this means he is poor. help the poor. help the psycho. he doesn't understand empathy.

children also don't understand empathy. this is why they torture bugs and stuff cats down a toilet and such.

we love children yet hate psychos, but they're not so different.

are children psychos or are psychos children? it really depends on how you view it.

we accept horrid behaviour from our children and our pets that we would never ever accept from adults.

@thor We actually did not used to accept that type of behavior from children though, that's a #GenX phenomenon, as I understand it

@realcaseyrollins @thor

Its probably more so in modern times, but we always gave kids an exception... the only thing that changed was the age.

When a baby bites a womans nipple no one cares, when a grown ass adult does it no one will excuse it... there is some age where we accept behaviors we wouldnt from adults... the line moves, but there is always a line.

@freemo @thor IDK. In this generation, if a 10 year old boy bites a woman's nipple, IDK if he'd necessarily get punished.

Give us a couple decades, and if an adult bites a woman's nipple, society would demand that we have empathy for him during his mental health episode lol

I mean the liune is definately moving.. but we must admit that there is a line where we treat people different.

@realcaseyrollins @thor

i mean if a woman hugs a baby and the baby grabs the breast and starts sucking through the shirt I bet everyone would laugh... last night at the bar when i did it I got kicked out!

@freemo @realcaseyrollins @thor > To explain, Augustine tries to reconstruct his own infancy: “What then was my sin at that age? Was it perhaps that I cried so greedily for those breasts? Certainly if I behaved like that now, greedy not for breasts, of course, but for food suitable to my age, I should provoke derision and be very properly rebuked. My behavior then was equally deserving of rebuke.”

@freemo @thor LOL 😂

Well, that was last night. If the line keeps moving, there is, in fact, no line at all.
